Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for performing a transaction between a user of an interactive service for digital television and a transactional management server associated with the interactive service.
  • Some digital television programs offer interactive services. These television programs can be broadcast by satellite or cable for example.
  • PSTN Switchched Telephone Network
  • the user connects his digital television receiver to the traditional fixed telephone network PSTN (Switched Telephone Network) via a modem.
  • PSTN Switchched Telephone Network
  • the user can perform transactions with the transactional management server associated with the interactive service.
  • PSTN fixed telephone network
  • the present invention therefore aims to allow secure access to interactive digital television services without using a connection to the traditional fixed telephone network RTC.
  • the invention aims to enable a secure transaction between a particular user and the transactional management server to operate the interactive service.
  • the idea underlying the invention is to take advantage of the high penetration of mobile phones in homes and new habits related to the possibilities offered by this means of communication.
  • said mobile telephone is sent by the server a second text message containing said access code to use an application of the interactive service loaded in the digital television receiver.
  • the access code is broadcast to all the digital television receivers.
  • the registration code (CI) contained in the first text message is encrypted to secure the transaction.
  • the text message is an SMS message ("Short Message Service").
  • a code for performing a transaction is displayed on the digital television screen, said code for perform the transaction is encrypted to secure the transaction.
  • the figure 1 schematically illustrates a mobile phone and a digital television receiver for carrying out the method according to the invention.
  • the figure 2 illustrates in the form of a diagram the various steps of the method according to the invention for performing a secure transaction between a user and a transactional management server associated with an interactive service for digital television.
  • FIG. 1 there is illustrated a user 1 of an interactive service for digital television equipped with a mobile mobile phone P can be connected to a transaction management server 2 associated with said interactive service.
  • the digital television operator When the digital television operator broadcasts an interactive digital television program, for example a game program, it is received by the digital television receiver R.
  • This television program provides an interactive service via an interactive application previously loaded into the digital television receiver R.
  • the digital television operator broadcasts the interactive application so that it can be loaded into the receiver R.
  • the interactive application could be loaded into the receiver R at the time of its manufacture.
  • This interactive application is a software program that manages the display on the screen of the different functionalities of the interactive service and the different commands that the user 1 taps on the remote control receiver R. In the embodiment described here, the user uses his remote control as a joystick.
  • the interactive application displays on the screen a CI subscription code to the interactive service.
  • this registration code CI allows the user 1 to register and therefore exploit the interactive service features via the interactive application.
  • the registration code CI consists of a random number, information to identify the interactive service and information identifying the user 1, for example the subscriber number of the service provider or the subscriber number of the digital interactive television operator.
  • the interactive application accesses the subscriber number by the subscriber identification device of the receiver R.
  • the identification device of the subscriber Subscriber is, for example, a smart card reader or a memory key reader.
  • the interactive application accesses the subscriber number by means of a smart card or a memory key specific to the service provider and compatible with the subscriber identification device of the receiver R.
  • the subscriber number of the service provider can be entered by the user 1 on the remote control of the receiver R for example.
  • the random number is generated and stored by the interactive application. As described below, this random number both improves transaction security and distinguishes gaming sessions.
  • the registration code CI is encrypted by the interactive application in order to make the transaction secure between the user 1 and the transactional management server 2.
  • the registration code CI is encrypted by an algorithm drawn at random among the symmetric encryption algorithms broadcast by the digital television operator. These algorithms are, for example, symmetric encryption algorithms such as DES (Data Encryption Standard), triple DES, AES (Advance Encryption Standard) ... It is understood that the random number generated by the interactive application improves even further. the security of the transaction by making the encrypted registration code unpredictable.
  • the interactive application displays on the digital television screen the telephone number needed to reach the transactional management server 2 and participate in the interactive service.
  • the registration to the interactive service allows the user 1 to participate in a game session and to know its ranking compared to other participants. Therefore, for the same user wishing to participate in several gaming sessions of the same interactive service, the random number will allow the interactive application to generate different registration codes for each session.
  • the figure 2 illustrates the succession of different steps of the method for performing a secure transaction between a user 1 and a transactional management server 2 associated with an interactive service for digital television.
  • the user 1 sends the transactional management server 2 a first SMS ("Short Message Service") subscription to the interactive service.
  • This first SMS contains the encrypted registration code CI interactive service that the user has just seen on its digital TV screen.
  • this first SMS contains an index allowing the server 2 to know the symmetric encryption algorithm used for encryption.
  • the transaction management server 2 receives the first SMS and decrypts the registration code by means of the corresponding symmetric decryption algorithm, which makes it possible to check the validity of the subscriber number and to identify the interactive service to which user 1 wishes to register.
  • the validity of the subscriber number is verified by a check of its syntax and / or by a check in the database of subscribers of the digital television operator or in the database of the service provider in the case of an identification by the subscriber number of the service provider.
  • the server 2 records in correspondence in its database 5 the subscriber number and the identifier of the interactive service with a subscriber identification, the number mobile phone P for example.
  • This matched registration makes it possible to identify the user 1 during future transactions, such as, for example, the sending of the score of the game session in which the user 1 participated or a command of a product proposed by a television program. -purchase.
  • the transactional management server 2 If the identifier of the interactive service and the subscriber number have been determined to be valid, the transactional management server 2 generates an interactive service access code from the subscriber number, the service identifier and the subscriber number. random number contained in the code CI registration code so that the access code can only be used for the interactive application that generated the registration code CI. The access code is also recorded in the database 5 in correspondence with the subscriber number and the telephone subscriber identification. The server 2 then sends, in 6, a second SMS confirmation of registration to the mobile phone P of the user 1 containing the access code to use the various features of the interactive service.
  • the server 2 sends, by SMS, an error message to the mobile phone P of the user 1.
  • the user 1 receives, on his mobile phone P, the second SMS containing the access code to operate the interactive service.
  • User 1 must then enter, in 8, this access code on the remote control receiver R, it is transmitted to the interactive application.
  • the interactive application verifies the validity of the access code by itself generating an access code, from the subscriber number, the identifier of the interactive service and the random number it has stored, the access code thus obtained is compared to the access code received. If the interactive application determines that the entered access code is valid then it allows the use of certain features of the interactive service. User 1 is therefore registered for the interactive service and can therefore participate in the current game session.
  • the access code contains information defining the access time to the interactive service and / or the interactive service features that can be used ...
  • the interactive service proposes, via the interactive application, to user 1 registered to said interactive service and participating in the game session to know his ranking with respect to the games.
  • the interactive application therefore displays on the screen a code encrypted by a symmetric encryption algorithm, the DES for example, containing the access code and the score made by the user. understands that encryption prevents user 1 from falsifying his score.
  • the transactional management server 2 receives the SMS sent in 9.
  • the server 2 decrypts the code as described above and checks the validity of the access code contained in the SMS, for example by means of the registration in correspondence of the subscriber identifier (the mobile telephone number P) in the database 5. Therefore, the subscriber and the interactive service are identified and the transaction can be billed on the next subscriber bill of the subscriber digital television operator.
  • the server 2 also controls the validity of the score, that is to say that it is a possible score. If the score and the access code are valid then the score of the user 1 is recorded in the database 5 in correspondence with the subscriber number.
  • the transactional management server 2 sends a participation confirmation SMS to the mobile phone P containing the classification of the user 1.
  • the user 1 can also decide to leave the interactive service at 13, or he must leave the interactive service if the validity of his access code comes to an end.
  • a second example of an interactive television program broadcast on television screens is a teleshopping program.
  • the user 1 proceeds to steps 3 to 8 as previously described and in step 9, the reference of the product to be controlled is contained in the code that is displayed on the screen.
  • the transactional management server 2 receives the SMS and records the command if the access code is validated.
  • the server 2 sends an SMS confirming the order, in 12 the user 1 receives this SMS on his mobile P.
  • user 1 can make several successive orders for products offered by the interactive tele-shopping service by repeating the process at 9, 10, 11 and 12.
  • the subscription to the interactive service and the ordering of a product offered by the service can be carried out by any member of the household.
  • step 6 when the interactive service and the subscriber number have been validated and the access code generated by the transactional management server 2, then the code access is broadcast by the digital television operator to all receivers R and received by the respective interactive applications.
  • the interactive application loaded into the receiver R of the user 1 who registered for the interactive service in step 4 of the method receives the broadcast access code.
  • the broadcast access code is identified by the interactive application concerned as being intended for it and the user 1 can use the functionalities of the interactive service.
  • step 11 in the case of a game program and when the access code and the score have been validated, the classification of the user 1 is broadcast to the digital television receivers.
  • the interactive application concerned identifies the classification as being intended for it and displays it on the screen of the user 1 in the same way as described in step 7.
